Jetboil....it seems there are a lot of rival competitors coming out with this tech now- AlpKit make one for £35, Highlander also do one for a similar price. MSR Does the Windboiler, which is JetBoil money...
I've had a Jetboil since May, and it's been good. The only thing I've found is that it's either full throttle, or off, there is very little in between, hence buying this today. Despite having a 'better' more controllable vale, it feels a hell of lot cheaper, and less well made than my Flash. Do any other sc/out/s have REAL feedback on these things long term? I'm not looking for links to Youtube vids where some middle aged 'survivalist/backpacker' is shilling the fuck out of them...real input please

Pretty much what the youtube ppl will say, will pretty much be said here too. What they say is really input, cause a lot of them will test the crap out of them before giving said input. So stop being an autistic faggot. This thread has been done plenty of times, go look at the archives.

Fuck off.
90% of the 'reviews' on youtube is on stuff that has been out of the packing less than an hour, 7% used a handfull of times an there is maybe 3% of non-shill, genuine content
Don't forget to pick your fedora up on the way out...
I have had 4 of them. The first three broke and I returned them to rei. I love them for convenience and utility but the quality is poor and is really going downhill.
The oldest one i had was the best i thing it was the flash, it broke when I dropped it. the second one was supposedly ultralight but the plastic broke right away and the membrane disintegrated. Third one the plastic cup broke right away and the metal fittings didnt join right.
I would love to know if any competitors have a good alternative.
Btw im a middle aged backpacker so fuck you you little pipsqueak
